Hello,
I have a Dell N7110 and was wondering if it's possible to update my bios to accept an Ivy bridge processor. I have an I5 2450m currently installed. I want to install an i7 3820qm processor. i'd be willing to do any changing of code as long as I can get instructions.

Thank You
Nathan

Post screenshots of first (CPU) & third (Mainboard) tabs of CPU-Z with current CPU.

Hello,
What do you mean I can't get the computer to even boot with the IVY Bridge. You mean the original CPU?? ok I gotta tear my laptop apart and reinstall the chip. the images will be posted soon.

Thank You
Nathan

Yes, current = original.

Your laptop is based on HM67 chipset. It doesn't support Ivy Bridge core.
